Misjudged The Distance

This grumpy mum wasn't best pleased when the lion tried to try to tame her cubs - and pounced straight at the enormous beast. But she obviously misjudged her distance - as she ended up sitting on top of the lion's mane like a hat - before falling to the ground below.

Ranger Jacques Matthysen captured the comic moment on camera, as he patrolled the South African plains.
